Need Help

Hello Everyone,

I have been cleaning out my out items and I came across some articles that were not of catholic faith. At around 13 I had a friend who got into the pagan religion and she gave me some pagan articles back then I was young and did not know these were pagan articles so I kept them thinking they were just a strange looking cross. Well I found them in my storage items and now I am certainly old enough to know that these are not of catholic faith. How do I get rid of them? Do I just toss them away or is there something else I need to do to dispose of them?

I see no issue with tossing them, though, depending on what they are made of, and if you’ve got a fire place, you could use them as kindling if you need to make a fire because it’s cold.

Yes just throw them out and don’t listen to any of the old wives tales that others might tell you. Nothing will happen because of throwing them out. The first reply suggested burning them if you can but simply throwing them in the regular garbage be just fine.

Uh… Actually there have indeed been cautions against burning things - such as ouija boards.

Don’t know about the validity of such tho…

Tossing away your superstitious beliefs would do you a whole world of good than throwing away some fairytale pagan stuff that doesn’t hold any meaning in the first place.

Seems like you believe in whatever power you think these items that are “…not of catholic faith” have and that’s why you can’t simply throw them away, hence your question, “…is there something else I need to do to dispose of them?”

I’ve never heard of any prohibition on burning a oujia board - in fact I’d say that’s the best thing for it.

Have a priest bless it and then burn it. I read in Fr. Amorth’s book “An Exorcist Tells His Story” that that is the proper way to dispose of cursed items.

Here is how you proceed
Step 1: Gather all the things you want to get rid of in a central location.
Step 2: Get some holy water and a bible
Step 3: While reading Psalms, start sprinkling holy water on them while a friend says with a loud voice “The Power of Christ Compels You!!”
Step 4: Set on fire and do a Holy Spirit Dance :dancing:
Step 5: Post on YouTube…for future reference reasons

Or

Just throw them away in the trash where they belong.
